The Galway Shawl

C          F          C           F
In Oranmore in the County Galway,
           Am               C     
One pleasant evening in the month 
  F     G
of May,
C          F                   C
I spied a damsel, she was young 
           F
and handsome
           Am       G          
Her beauty fairly took my breath 
   C   G
away


[Verse 2]
  C          F        C      F
We kept on walking, she kept on 
talking,
    Am               C             
'Till her father's cottage came 
F     G
into view
  C          F              C    
Says she: 'Come in, sir, and meet
     F
 my father,
        Am      G               C
And play to please him " The 
         G
Foggy Dew "



[Chorus]
  C          F        C      F
She wore no jewels, nor costly 
diamonds,
      Am             C            
No paint or powder, no, none at 
F  G
all
     C          F             C  
But she wore a bonnet with a 
     F
ribbon on it
       Am               G         
And round her shoulders was a 
     C  G
Galway Shawl

[Verse 3]
          C          F            
I played "The Blackbird" and "The 
         C      F
Stack of Barley",
      Am           C             
" Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy 
F     G
Dew",
       C          F        C  
She sang each note like an Irish 
    F
linnet
           Am               G     
While the tears flowed from her 
       C  G
eyes so blue


[Chorus]
  C          F        C      F
She wore no jewels, nor costly 
diamonds,
    Am               C            
No paint or powder, no, none at 
  F  G
all
  C          F        C      F
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon 
on it
       Am               G         
And round her shoulders was a 
     C  G
Galway Shawl

[Verse 4]
 C          F        C      F
'Twas early, early, all in the 
morning,
  Am           C             F     G
When I hit the road for old Donegal
       C          F        C      
She said 'Goodby, sir,'she cried and
F
 kissed me
         Am               C       
And my heart remains with the 
     F  G
Galway shawl


[Chorus]

  C          F        C      F
She wore no jewels, nor costly 
diamonds,
    Am               C            
No paint or powder, no, none at 
  F  G
all
  C          F        C      F
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon 
on it
       Am               C         
And round her shoulders was a

No paint or powder, no, none at

But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon
